Odd Happenings (Trilogy of The Odds)

Fishing

Okay! I'm so sorry it took so long to update. I've tried to start a new Harry Potter story and I was caught up on that this whole time. Anyway, I'm dedicating this to lozzaangle because she has dedicated a couple of chapters of her story to me and I'm eternally grateful! If you ever want me to dedicate a chapter to you, just tell me because I would love to!

So the chapter that you've all been waiting for...please read, enjoy, vote, comment, fan, and all that other stuff that would make me extremely happy!

Kassidy's POV!!!

______________________________________________________________________________ Cody and I were standing there smiling at the rest of our group when a ancient women that looked like a gypsy came walking towards us.

"Kassidy Moore? Cody Hansen? Do you know why you are here? In the past?" The ancient woman asked.

"I prefer Kassidy McCarthy. Is the answer to meet the best boyfriend ever? To see my best friends in love? So Maddie could find her long lost brother? I truly have thought of it all and haven't found the main answer." I said.

"You left out a couple things. Meet Madeline and Aaron's Great, Great... Grandmother."

"Who's that?" Cody asked.

"Me." She said.

"What?" Cody and I said at the same time.

"Yes, well I have the answer for you."

"You do?" I asked.

"I do. I know that this is a soft subject but, I know why you don't have any blood relatives." I could feel tears start to fill my eyes.

 "Why is that?" I asked.

"Your family is cursed. Six and a half years after they have their first child, the parents die," I started sobbing after die, "and the child is left without his or her parents." .After she was finished, Cody was hugging me and I was laying my head on his chest. Kane, Maddie, Aaron, and Molly finally stopped sucking each others faces off and started walking over.

Then Gypsy Lady started again, "There are four ways to break the curse, but you must only choose one. The first one - You and who ever your husband will be don't have any children. Two - You don't get married. Three - you sacrifice yourself. Four - You save someone from your family from getting killed. Someone has brought you here for, I believe, the fourth option."

"Okay so I'm supposed to save a person of my family from this time period to break the curse?" I asked, still sobbing and laying my head against Cody's chest (which was very muscled by the way).

Finally, the rest of the group caught up.

"What up, Grandma?" Maddie and Aaron asked simultaneously.

"I am telling your group why you are here, in the past. I can start over if you would like."

"That would be great. I have been curious why we were here." Molly said.

"Okay, fine! Make the girl crying cry even more! Fine with me!" I sobbed.

So The Gypsy Lady start the whole freaking speech over again.

...

"You know what? People have no sympathy for other people in this time period." I said through sobs.

"Okay, so that's the reason? How did her family become cursed?"

"Her ascendant, somewhere in her family tree, traded her and her husbands life for fame and fortune. So they were famous for thirty three years and then they mysteriously disappeared. Thats how it all started. Anymore questions?" The Gypsy Lady asked. No one answered. "Okay. All I can do is show you in the direction of where your family is. Anymore information will have to remain with me. Go!"

"Wait, why can't w-" I started.

"Just go! You've wasted enough time already!" Then she pushed us off in the direction that we needed to go.

...

As we were walking, we came across a fish pond.

"Anyone up for some fish?" I got a couple of nods and a "No duh! All we've been eating is fruit!"

"Okay!" I grabbed a stick and handed it to Cody. "Can you go around this pond to the other side," (which wasn't very far,) "and draw an arrow so we can remember which way to go?"

"Sure! " He walked off.

 I was still holding the bag with our money and clothes. I opened the bag and pulled out my shorts and tank top with the hole in the back from the bamboo. I went into the bushes and changed.

"Kassidy, what are you doing?" Molly asked.

"Being on the swim team really pays off. Trust me." I replied

"Okay?"

I stepped forward and jumped into the pond. I opened my eyes and saw fish start to swim off, startled. I chased after it and caught it.

"One down, five to go!" I yelled as I threw the fish at Kane.

 I went under again, this time, though, I almost missed the fish. Once again, rising up to the surface.

"Fish nermuro dous!" I threw the fish at Maddie and went back into the depths of the murky green water.

Then I saw it. The biggest and slowest fish I've ever seen. I started to swim after it when I felt a tug on my leg. I turned around to find out what was holding me back and found a tangle of weeds around my ankle. I needed to figure out how to untie these weeds, and fast. I was loosing air.

No matter how many times I tried, the knot kept getting tighter and tighter. I felt like my lungs were going to burst. The last thing I did was scream.
